Psalm 6

¹O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
²Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
³My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?
⁴Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
⁵For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
⁶I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
⁷Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
⁸Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
⁹The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
¹⁰Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

Psalm 26

¹Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.
²Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
⁴I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.
⁵I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
⁶I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
⁷That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.
⁸Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
⁹Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
¹⁰In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
¹¹But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
¹²My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Lord.

11Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
²Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
³If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
⁴He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
⁵As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
⁶In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
⁷Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
⁸But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
⁹Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
¹⁰Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

²⁵Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
²⁶Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
²⁷Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
²⁸Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
²⁹Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
³⁰And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
³¹Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
³²Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
³³Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
³⁴Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
³⁵That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
³⁶Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
³⁷O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
³⁸Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
³⁹For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
